Due to their unpredictable finances and lack of traditionally defined steady employment, actors had regularly been denied this basic, modern necessity. The specific impetus behind the 1962 movement was an incident at a local department store: an AEA member was denied credit specifically due to the fact that he was an actor. This member proceeded to raise the issue at a union meeting and enlisted six men to take up the challenge of starting a credit union for those in the acting profession. These men—Conrad Bain,〔Bain also served as the organization's first president. http://www.local802afm.org/publication_entry.cfm?xEntry=1876268〕 Anthony Saverino, Robin Craven, Herb Nelson, Theodore Bikel,〔http://www.bikel.com/biography.html〕 Angus Duncan, and Bill Ross—formed the Actors Federal Credit Union in 1962 with the help of Leo Schwarz, Field Representative of the (New York League of Credit Unions ). In the late 1960s, the credit union issued its first mortgage to actor Jerry Orbach. 1979: Angela Lansbury was welcomed as the ten-thousandth member 1986: merged with Local 700 Motion Picture Editors Guild Credit Union In the late 1980s: merged with Writers Guild of America, East Credit Union 1991: merged with American Federation of Television and Radio Artists(AFTRA) Credit Union 1998: helped get the Credit Union Membership Access Act (HR-1151) enacted 1999: placed its first ATM and became NYC's number one credit union deployer of ATMs.〔http://actorsfcu.com/membership/about-us/history/〕 In 2002, NYC Council Speaker Gifford Miller and Third District Council member Christine Quinn along with Torrence Allen, delivered proclamations of congratulations to the ActorsFCU. Letters were also presented from New York State Senator Tom Duane and U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. Public Advocate Betsy Gotbaum issued a proclamation declaring May 7 "Actors Federal Credit Union Day" in New York City, in perpetuity.〔http://www.local802afm.org/publication_entry.cfm?xEntry=1876268〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Actors Federal Credit Union」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
